A Naturai-Gas Reform.


Since the use of natural gas has made clean

that the dress Of gentlemen has shown more
starched whitepess than the case q few

ELECTRICAL TYPEWRITER.
An Invention by n Philadelphian Which

Will RevOlutionize Telegraphy.
P Philadelphia Special.
James F. Mclaughlin, young electrician of
this city, claims that he has succeeded in per-
fectine an electrical type writer which will be
the most formidable rival that has yet arisen
against the Bell Telephone Company. we'll
as against the entire system of modern teleg
raphy. The machine. as it stands now, is not
unlike the ordinary type writer, except the roller
on which the paper is carried This moves
automatically, and when the end of line is
reached it flies back and turns a notch, ready to
begin anew. The keyboard differs slightly
from that of the mechanical typewriter, The
alphabet, instead of being in banks, is in two
rows, and on ivory squares instead Of glass
disks Each key is worked from an independent
armature, so that whether the operator strike
the key board with great force. or touch it never
so lightly, the impression on the paper is pre-
cisely similar in each case An ordinary battery
such as used on Morse wire supplies the cleo
trical energy. The utility of young McLaugh-
Inns invention. and the claim that it will seri
ously affect the business OF the telephone on
short circuits, and ruin it altogether in long
ones, lie in the fact that each message sent is
duplicated in the Office of the sender that the
same message can be sent to dozen or score
OF places at the same time; that absolute secrecy
is secured, and that when not in use electrically
the wire can be disconnected and the machine
used mechanically as long as desired.
As rival of the Morse telegraph the inventor
claims that it has numerous advantages A
skilled operator is not required. Any person
of ordinary intelligence and a pair of hands can
send message. The depression of each key
causes an electrical impulse to travel the wire
from sender to receiver. Only impulse is
required for each character instead of several
impulses required to produce the dots. dashes,
and spaces in the Morse system. Herein lies
the imposbility of successfully tapping" wire.
because even if the wire were cut between two
points nothing would be received but a single
unmeaning click for each time the keyboard
was depressed, whereas in the Morse system
each click would represent part of character.
The synchronism is perfect By no possibility
can there be an error in transmission. On the
score of rapidity it beats the ordinary telegraph
ic message out of sight
An ordinary rapid operator in telegraph Of
fee can receive" on an average at the rate of
thirty words minute. An ordinarily rapid
girl accustomed to type-writing machine can
write on an average sixty or sixty-6ve words a
minute and if she makes an error of substance,
or of construction, or in spelling, it is recorded.
It is not even necessary that the person for
whom the message is intended should be present
while IL is coming over the wire. as the machine
used as a receiver works automatically, and
when the paper runs out notifies the sender by
ringing bell to cease operations

The League Clubs.

New YORK Mall and Express.
In less than week the National League will
enter upon its twelfth championship season.
There are eight strong clubs to begin the strug-
gle for the pennant. In former years it did not
take long to settle the question as to how many
clubs there would be in the League race. 1t was
generally very one-sided affair before the sea-
son was half over. This year, however, it will
be different, and the public will be kept busy
guessing as to how each club will finish. Every
nine in the League will present one or more new
faces. No club has parted with more of its old
and tried players than the Chicagos and
been less crippled. They will present
strong team and make a brilliant
fight The only apparently weak spot on the
Chicago team is in the pitchers box In this
spect the Chicagos seem weak since they parted
with Mccormick, their crack twirler. He and
Clarkson might have carried the club success
fully through the season, with whatever
other assistance Flynn and Ryan could contrib
ute The Detroits have made fewer changes
than any other club. They rely on the old
timers to carry them to the front. The Detrots
are strong and will try hard to capture the PEN
Dant. The New Yorks are also much stronger
than last year. The club had only two twirlers
to begin last seasons campaign. Those two
were WEIGH and Keefe This year they have
four good ones and two who may some day be of
use. In Keefe, WEIGH Herman and Mattimore
the club has four men who should carry it safely
through The season, if good work from pitchers
will warrant such thing. The club will be
strengthened in batting and base running. the
latter being feature badly needed The Bos-
tons have also been greatly strengthened, and
they will play better ball than at any time dur
ing the past two years. Boston will De good
one to keep an eye on. The Philadelphia club
will present pretty much the team it had
last year, probably with the exception of Buff
linton and Cunning. the ex Boston battery.
The Pittsburg club may need watching 1t
has invariably been conceded any place from
fifth to last but it may prove the dark horse be-
fore the fight is over. With three such manipu-
lators Of the sphere as Morris, Calvin and Nc
Cormick, Pittsburg is sure to be heard from.
Mccormick and Calvin old-timers who
should stand we'll up under the rules, and
in Morris the club has one of the very best left
handed twirlers. The Indianapolis club is about
the same it was last year. when it repre-
sented st. Louis, except that Basset will play
second base instead of Sam Crane The Wash
ington club will show marked improvement
over last year. The club has been strengthened.
The infeld will present much stronger front.
Take it all in all, the National League clubs
great deal better than they ever were, and
better ball-playing may be expected.
